Contaminants in Industrial Lean Amine Solvent and their Removal using Biopolymers: A New Aspect
(2014-03)Natural biopolymers are gaining increasing attention due to their extraordinary affinity towards adsorption of heavy metal ions. In this research, biopolymers such as chitosan and alginate were used to remove contaminants ... -
Determination of Potassium Levels in Intensive Subsistence Agricultural Soils in Nyamira County, Kenya
(2013)Assessment of potassium levels in agricultural soils of Nyamira County, Kenya was necessitated by the observed progressive drops in maize acreage yields over the years despite use of phosphorus and nitrogenous fertilizers. ... -
Equilibrium Studies for Adsorption of Zn2+ on to Acid Treated Kikuyu Grass Pennisetum Clandestinum Biomass
(2016-04)The feasibility of using Pennisetum clandestinum biomass as low-cost adsorbent for the removal of Zn2+ was investigated in batch studies. The Freundlich, Langmuir,Dubinin Raduskevich and Temkin adsorption isotherms were ... -
The Impact of the Physiochemical Properties of Manufactured Nanoparticles on In vitro and In vivo Evaluation of Particle Toxicity
(2014-04)Recently, many in vitro studies evaluating the effects of nanoparticles on cellular physiology have been reported. In in vitro systems, the nano-objects induce not only primary effects but also confounding (artificial) ...
